1108 | |
1088 | The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or |
1109 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will |
1089 | searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and |
1110 | match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other |
|
|
1111 | key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that |
|
|
1112 | defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for |
|
|
1113 | C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings |
|
|
1114 | themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around |
|
|
1115 | this when this is a problem. |
|
|
1116 | |
|
|
1117 | The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to |
|
|
1118 | find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by |
|
|
1119 | looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit |
1090 | omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex |
1120 | the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym |
1091 | keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not |
1121 | value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). |

1094 | I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal |
1123 | As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash |

1096 | |
1126 | |
1097 | You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
1127 | An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type |
1098 | with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' |
1128 | of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is |
|
|
1129 | interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was |
|
|
1130 | prefixed with C<string:>). |
|
|
1131 | |
|
|
1132 | The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide |
|
|
1133 | additional prefixes: |

|
1136 | |
|
|
1137 | =item string:STRING |
|
|
1138 | |
|
|
1139 | If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons), |
|
|
1140 | then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the |
|
|
1141 | terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the |
|
|
1142 | string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline: |
|
|
1143 | |
|
|
1144 | URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n |
|
|
1145 | |
|
|
1146 | This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap. |
|
|
1147 | |
|
|
1148 | In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of |
|
|
1149 | keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and |
|
|
1150 | providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where |
1099 | should be a character not used by the strings. |
1151 | the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings. |

1177 | the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
1120 | manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via |
1178 | font-switching at runtime: |
1121 | C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events: |
|
|
1122 | |
1179 | |
1123 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 |
1180 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
|
|
1181 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
1124 | |
1182 | |
1125 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
1183 | Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more |
1126 | will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
1184 | info): |
1127 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
|
|
1128 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
|
|
1129 | definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
|
|
1130 | mappings themselves. |
|
|
1131 | |
1185 | |
1132 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
1186 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t |
|
|
1187 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t |

1190 | |
|
|
1191 | The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no |
|
|
1192 | key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo |
|
|
1193 | the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate |
|
|
1194 | bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers. |
|
|
1195 | |
1133 | if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |
1196 | For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable |
1134 | C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the |
1197 | @@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke |
1135 | user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: |

1208 | |
1148 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
1209 | This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that |
1149 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
1210 | have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit |
|
|
1211 | difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the |
|
|
1212 | application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in |
|
|
1213 | action for it. |

1216 | selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it |
|
|
1217 | would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the |
|

1218 | terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead: |
1153 | |

1221 | URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
1222 | |

1223 | The first line disables the paste functionality for that key |

|
1225 | C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden. |

|
1227 | Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to |
